Mahmood sent me this: "The Bahraini government is so desperate for legitimacy that it has been making
up reports. They always get caught, but they never seem to learn. Here
they claim that Amnesty International criticized the opposition for "using
children for political gains" and as "human shields". It's right out of Israel's
playbook. Here
Amnesty calls them out and demands the Bahraini press withdraw the false
reports. There was a similar episode a few months back with the High
Commissioner for Human Rights at the UN Navi Pillay, if you remember."
